[Demographic transition in Indonesia: 1971, 1980 and 1985].

Recent population problems in Indonesia include the high growth rate of the population. The government has made efforts to reduce fertility and mortality, such as improving health services and nutrition. In addition, the development programs in the beginning of REPELITA I (in 1970) have influenced the fertility and mortality rate. The consequences of these programs have initiated the demographic transition in Indonesia. However, only 8 provinces have reached 60% demographic transition. The remaining provinces need increased efforts to reduce the fertility and mortality rates.
